Besides a feeling of solidness, an
air of practicality prevails through
out the house. It was designed for
low maintenance. It has a universal
color scheme and is as simple in de
sign as possible.
“Simplicity is the keynote of el
egance,” Hansen said.
The house was also designed to
easily accomodate handicapped peo
ple. The house has no second story
and no sunken rooms. Doorway,
hallways and even doorknobs were
chosen with the handicapped in
mind.
“There is a good reason for every
thing,” Hansen said.
Her favorite feature of the house
is the natural light throughout the
house, she said. The tall windows,
which adorn the southside of the
house, allow plenty of sunlight to
come into the house.
Hansen said her biggest adjust
ment will be getting used to the com
plex electrical, telephone and alarm
systems.
Hansen considers the house a
treasure for the system. It will be a
home for agriculture, engineering
and extension representatives and
other groups who visit Texas A&M,
she said.
Rabies
Girl’s death prompts harsher punishmen
United Press International
The residence is named for Dr.
Chester J. and Billie Jean Reed, a
Houston couple who paid for the
majority of the construction last
year. Chester Reed, who earned his
doctorate in veterinary medicine
from Texas A&M in 1947, was
named Distinguished Alumnus in
May.
The fountain and courtyard of
the house was donated by August
Berring, Class of ‘35, in memory of
his parents.
HOUSTON — The first human vic
tim of rabies in the United States in
more than a year died without re
gaining consciousness, a hospital
spokeswoman said Wednesday.
The 12-year-old girl, who moved
to Houston with her family from
Laos more than three years ago,
died Tuesday night in Texas Chil
dren’s Hospital.
“The cause of death was cardiac
arrest,” hospital spokeswoman Joan
London said.
Officials still do not know what kind
of animal bit the girl. A spokeswo
man for the Centers for Disease
Control in Atlanta said test results
might be available Friday.
The girl, whose name was not re
leased to protect her family’s pri
vacy, fell into a coma shortly after
being admitted to Texas Children’s
on July 16. She remained in the
coma on life support systems until
her death, London said.
The use of the experimental drug
ribaviran was not effective and doc
tors stopped administering it last
week. Doctors said when her case
was diagnosed as rabies last month,
it already was too late to save the girl.
Before falling into the coma, the
girl told doctors she had not been
bitten by an animal. However, doc
tors said the disease can incubate for
up to 18 months.

Health officials said it was the first
reported case of rabies in a human

The director of rabies control for
the city Health Department said the
number of animals being brought to
the city for vaccination against rabies
continues to run eight to 10 times
higher than usual. However, Dr.
Robert Armstrong said he saw no
additional increase Wednesday after
the girl’s death was announced.

40 A&M students complete
tests for scuba certification
By KAREN GILES
Reporter
Although Lake Travis wasn’t as
clear and blue as the sky above it last
weekend, it didn’t keep 40 Texas
A&M scuba students from success
fully completing the required dives
for certification.
“The water was really murky,”
John Heldenfels, a member of the
class said. “We only had about five
feet of visibility, so it was really hard
to see what your buddy or instructor
was doing.”
On Saturday each student, along
with a partner, was required to com
plete a snorkeling test to get used to
wearing the equipment, a rescue test
in case of an emergency, and one
dive with an advanced diver. Emer
gency procedures consisted of mask
clearing, buoyancy neutralizing, and
“buddy breathing” (sharing an air
tank with your partner).
Sunday the students completed
the underwater navigation dive.
“The idea is to learn how to orient
yourself,” Heldenfels said. “The in
structor checked our breathing, then
we began the excursion. We riad to
figure out where we were without a
compass and practice looking for
obstacles. I can see how this would
be useful, since it’s so easy to lose
track of where you’ve gone while
you’re enjoying the scenery.”
Some of the students stayed at the
lake Saturday night for a barbecue
provided by Dean Hollingsworth,
one of the instructors. Many chose to
camp out in tents, and Chris Jack-
• son, one of the students in the class,
came prepared to sleep under the
stars on a mattress in the bed of his
truck.

WE'LL HELP GET
YOU THE MONEY TO KEEP
ON GROWING.
If you’re finishing up your first
two years of college and you’ve decided
to go on, to complete your education,
but you don’t know where the money’s
going to come from, here’s a possible
solution.
The Army College Fund.
Here’s how it works. You qualify
to train in a skill you’d like to leam, one
that entitles you to the Army College
Fund. Then each month you put aside
some of your Army salary. Just like a
savings account. Except the government
matches your savings 5 for 1 or more.
In two years, you could have
$15,200 for college. Your Army Recruit-
er has a booklet that explains all about
Army College Fund.
Pick one up.
